THURSDAY 27/05 MORNING SESSION 9:00 Welcome to LGM 2010 Louis Desjardin + Femke Snelting 9:30 Extending Python for Speed Martin Renold Python is a nice high-level language, but most graphic applications have some code that must run programming, raster http://mypaint.info fast at any price. Everyone knows that it is possible to write C/C++ extensions for Python. Not image everyone knows that it can be done quite clean, simple and DRY. 10:00 A first outline for a UI for a fully peter sikking The (eternally) imminent integration of GEGL into GIMP—or rather, fully basing GIMP on GEGL— raster image, http://mmiworks.net/blog GEGLed GIMP holds great promises. Lossless editing and unlimited re-adjustment and reordering of image editing programming steps are only the beginning of it. However, there is big gap between the world of the nuts and bolts of the GEGL graph and nodes, and the world of GIMP users doing high-end image manipulation towards artistic results. User interface bridges this gap and peter sikking, principal interaction architect at m+mi works and lead interaction architect of GIMP, will outline in this talk the UI principles that can unlock the power of GEGL in a GIMP context. 10:30 Featuring Nathive image editor Marcos Diaz Nathive is a libre software image editor, focused on usability. The project keys and goals will be raster image, http://nathive.org and its Python port listed, and since the project is currently being ported from C to Python, this process will be detailed programming and we'll delve into some programming aspects. 11:00 Writing GIMP scripts and plug- Akkana Peck Much of the power of GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation program, comes from its plug-in raster image, scripting http://shallowsky.com ins architecture. Most of the functions you use in GIMP, including everything in the Filters menu, are http://gimpbook.com implemented as plug-ins. Happily, writing GIMP plug-ins is easy. This talk will show you how to write new plug-ins or extend existing ones in two languages: Script-fu and Python 11:30-14:30 WORKMEETINGS, BOF, LUNCH, WORKSHOPS AFTERNOON SESSION 14:30-16:00 short talks Collaborative intellectual Jose David Cuartas Correa [video talk] I would like to made a video conference to show how when we put together Free free culture, http://sologicolibre.org/en/ property software, free contents and open hardware, we get something that we can call: "Collaborative collaboration intellectual property". PureDyne Aymeric Mansoux Puredyne is the USB-bootable GNU/Linux operating system for creative media. It is a live multimedia, linux http://puredyne.goto10.org distribution, you don't need to install anything. Simply boot your computer using the live USB or distribution https://launchpad.net/puredyne CD/DVD and you're ready to start using software such as Pure Data, Supercollider, Icecast, Csound, Fluxus, Processing, Arduino, Gimp, Inkscape and much more. UpStage - an open source web- helen varley jamieson Artists use UpStage to collaborate in real-time on live performances for an online audience, using multimedia http://www.upstage.org.nz based platform for the web interface to manipulate graphics, animations, text, text2speech, audio, web cams and http://www.creative-catalyst.com cyberformance drawing, creating live performances that are accessible to anyone with a standard browser and internet connection. The application, which is open source and written in Python, sits on a server so there is no need for artists or audience to download or install anything. Open Source project to enable Susan L. Spencer This presentation invites developers to help create a suite of open source software to create and vector, workflow, fashion design using open data modify clothing patterns in open data formats to match an individual's body measurement and fashion formats. generate customized patterns as printable files. Current applications are proprietary, do not interoperate, and are expensive. An open source solution would enable individual and small label designers to create and provide custom sized patterns without purchasing high-cost proprietary software. How people use opensource Wang Lingzheng In the past, a lot of people in China didn't know opensource software and opensource graphics, publishing, design http://blog.artintern.net/blogs/index/wanglingzheng graphics in China and book these people even conclude some young graphics designer who gratuated from Art Academy, as about the lgm meeting well as some traditional library worker don't know opensource software,library theory and practise needs opensource too. SO, opensource graphics Introduction is great in China. At present,more and more people in China realize that opensource software is so important. Multi-touch support in Ubuntu Steve Conklin A quick presentation about the current state of multi-touch support in Ubuntu, and the road map for the next release 16:00-16:30 BREAK 16:30 Baroque Dreams: Live Barry Threw This talk will cover the issues of bringing live interpretive performance back into electronic music multimedia, http://www.barrythrew.com Multimedia Performance, and multimedia performance culture. Issues of technology obsolesce, interface, types of users, performance Interpretive Culture, and Open hardware, and historical cultures patterns will be discussed. Ways the open source community can Source Software help build tools that will be useful to the video or music artists interested in interpretive performance of works will be suggested. 17:00 Using and teaching free Lila Pagola This talk shares the experience of some pieces of design made completely with free software workflow, education http://www.nomade.org.ar/sitio software, being a final user and (books, booklets, and others) for a team working in Córdoba, Argentina from 2005 to present. The not dying in the attempt. option for free software try to “align” poetics and politics, being coherent with the topics communicated by the pieces (free software and culture, patents, DRMs, etc.), and representing an “live example” of viable alternatives to privative and/or illegal software for graphic design. 17:30 Designing with Free tools in an Nicu Buculei, Martin Sourada The Fedora Design Team is an Open Community consisting from people from all around the world design, collaboration http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork Open Community: experiences collaborating on various projects, from desktop wallpapers to posters, icons, website and from the Fedora Design Team application mockups, CD/DVD art and more. Everything created by the team is licensed freely, according with Fedora's foundations: Freedom, Friends, Features, First. 18:00 How to get contributors to your Hong Phuc Dang There are so many great F/LOSS projects out there, that get me excited. And we have millions of free culture, http://foss.vn, Free/Libre/Open Source project people studying IT, design, communication, translation and many other subjects in the world. collaboration http://2009.gnome.asia from Vietnam and Asia Everyone could contribute to F/LOSS. So, when I sometimes read about projects I cannot believe that many are lacking contributors. As a user and small and humble contributor I am happy about the many improvements in the F/LOSS world, but I am selfish and I would like to see moving things forward even more. So, I figured out that I want to support projects, that are looking to get more contributors. 18:30 How to Run an Art School on Florian Cramer, Aymeric Open Source plays an increasingly important role in arts and design through Web applications and education, free culture http://pzwart.wdka.nl/networked-media/ Free Software / Open Source Mansoux, Michael Murtaugh open licenses. The Networked Media design programme of the Piet Zwart Institute has, for years, employed Open Source more radically for all course work, on servers and clients, with a focus on the command line, coding and FLOSS philosophy to foster rethinking of media instead of off-the- shelf design. 19:00 END FRIDAY 28/05 MORNING SESSION 9:00 Diffusion Curves in vector Jasper van de Gronde Diffusion Curves are an exciting and flexible new primitive for creating images with smooth color vector http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Diffusion_Curves drawings transitions. However, the best method to display diffusion curves so far is to rasterize them, which is unsuitable for use with SVG for example. I will present the basic idea behind Diffusion Curves, an alternative interpretation and an approach to creating a purely vector based representation (discussion welcome). 9:30 GNU LibreDWG - a free Felipe Corrêa da Silva Sanches LibreDWG is a library to handle files in the DWG format used by AutoCAD. I will present a general vector, collaboration http://gnu.org/software/libredwg software library to handle DWG overview of the history of the project explaining how did the creation of a students free software files from AutoCAD. group at University of São Paulo resulted in the development of a new and relevant free software library (that is listed in the FSF High Priority Projects List) and how did it become approved as an official GNU package. 10:00 Device Colour Management Kai-Uwe Behrmann Devices seldom agree about colours by default. Rgb (red/green/blue) colour spaces in digital colour management http://www.oyranos.org cameras or analog cameras are different from laptop and desktop monitors and different from inkjet printers if they do not even support only a Cmyk (cyan/magenta/yellow/key-black) colour space. The talk gives an overview of how these diverging colours can be brought together by the configurable Oyranos Colour Management System on a system level. It will further discuss what is required by applications to make use of the provided ICC profile information. 10:30 Color Management and other Hin-Tak Leung The ghostscript team has a few on-going or soon-to-complete development efforts which would colour management http://www.artifex.com, new developments in be of great interests to the free graphics community.
